SLC has begun

Our students have arrived from different parts of Europe and beyond, and our 3-week SLC training course began two days ago. SLC stands for "Strategic Leadership Course" and it's all about equipping people to be effective in pioneering new mission expressions in the towns and cities of the world. However, some of the students are saying that SLC means the "Salt and Light Course," because Matthew 5: 13 - 14 is the theme that God has given us for this year's school. We've been prayerfully reading these words of Jesus, and considering what it really means to be salt and light in the locations He has called us to. Or, as another Bible version expresses it: how can we express the colours and the flavours of God in the world around us?
